It's A Good Time to Submit to SilkWords

As of February
14, 2014 SilkWords LLC celebrates the launch of a web site that offers
a first-of-its-kind reading experience for women’s fiction (www.silkwords.com).

The site blurs the line between fiction and casual gaming by
offering high quality, interactive romance that allows individual readers to
choose how the story proceeds. Readers can also experience the story in
different ways by returning to choice points and following different paths.

SilkWords was founded by wife-and-husband team Keri and Boyd
Multerer. Boyd, who works as development director for Microsoft Xbox, is no
stranger to the gaming industry.

“As a working mom of three young children,” Keri said, “I believe
there’s a potentially huge market for a site that offers high quality women’s
fiction that can be consumed quickly. And the marriage of two very popular forms
of entertainment—romance and gaming—was a no-brainer for us.”

“Our goal is to offer something for everyone, from erotic to
sweet, historical to sci-fi,” Fisher said. “It’s such a fun format for authors
to play around with. Have you ever read a romance and wondered what would
happen if the heroine made a different choice? Picked a different guy? Waited
longer to kiss him? Our readers get to find out.”

Today’s launch is phase 1 of a larger SilkWords vision.

“The beautiful thing about SilkWords is there’s a ton of
room for experimentation,” Boyd said. “Different forms of storytelling,
interaction with the authors, and moving the medium forward. It’s stories
first, gaming second, with a lot the two sides can learn from each other.”

SilkWords LLC offers interactive women’s fiction to readers
worldwide through our web site www.silkwords.com.
Blurring the line between fiction and gaming, SilkWords offers high quality romance
that allows individual readers to choose how stories proceed—all for the price
of a latte, and from the comfort of their own living rooms.
